Eight is great!

We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend.

She is such a delightful girl.

It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything. Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch.

We’ve done some funparties in the past, but I just wasn’t up for it this time. Instead of a party, I talked her into a fun family outing. We decided to visit Massanutten’s indoor water park on our way down to Grandma & Grandpa’s house for Thanksgiving.

Afterwards, we stopped for dinner and a birthday treat.

She is so sweet, funny, tender-hearted and all around lovely. What a blessing she is to us!
